I’m an uncle again!
Wonderful news: My sister-in-Law gave birth to Sophie and Olivia this week, so I’m an uncle twice more!
My extended family’s new twins reminds me of a great event you should attend the day after our VMC Foundation gala – which the alert reader knows is September 12.
So, hosted by the Coalition for Alcohol and Drug Free Pregnancies, their “Mothers’ Tea for Healthy Babies” takes place 9/13 at the St. Elizabeth Day Home in San Jose. Details are on their website, where you can buy tickets, but consider WHY you should attend:
– When a pregnant woman smokes, drinks or uses drugs, so does her baby (this you likely know)
– This NUMBER ONE cause of mental retardation is 100% preventable (again, you knew)
– Drug and alcohol use during pregancy has NOT declined in recent years (this really shocks me…maybe you too?)
Obviously, they have a lot of education to do, and your attending this event will help them do it. Thanks so much, and welcome Sophie and Olivia.
Sophie and Olivia can't wait to meet their uncle and say a big Thanks to all the healthcare providers out there!
Chris,
Congratulations!! We want to see more cute pictures of the twins.
